That's a surprising statement! I wish I knew what the contents of the .gtkrc-2.0 file was 
before you deleted it. That may have given us a good hint on another possible cause of ui 
slowness experienced by several users on Windows.

But what is even more odd is that GnuCash does not install a .gtkrc-2.0 file by itself that I'm 
aware of. It is normally created only by running the theme selection tool. In fact I even tried 
to reinstall gnucash 2.6.1 on my Windows XP test system after removing an empty .gktrc-2.0 
file. It didn't return automatically.

That tool was already available in GnuCash 2.4. It's not new.
